Very cool! Just suggest making the colliders bigger because its hard to aim exactly at what is needed to be fixed.

 Good job!

Game was a pretty nice concept! The fixing was nice with juicy sounds. I think its just that the movement may be a bit slidy causing it to be hard to line up with the broken equipment to fix them. Good game though overall!

Submitted(+1)

I thought the audio design was really nice and satisfying, and getting the sped up soundtracks gave me a bit of an Overcooked feeling. The chaotic bits at the middle and end of each level were nice, but I think the pacing could be improved. Maybe adding in a high score system, or algorithmically determining a desired "rate" of failures to adapt to the player.

I think the hitboxes are way too small on the first level, especially the top-middle pipe. I essentially lost the first game because I spent 20 seconds walking around trying to figure out what key to hit to fix things. I also noticed some inconsistency, where I could fix something without the UI popping up and prompting me to hit a key.

Overall it was a nice experience.

Damn, my index finger hurts from spaming F.

Funny, stressfull and well-made game.

Submitted

Looks well made, couldn't play much though, because of my weak graphics card...

Developer

SRY about that. I'm planning on uploading a new build after the jam.

For some reason, it doesn't start :(

Fatal error

Developer

Sorry dude. I haven't seen anything like that at all with this game. I'll try to fix it, but I don't know what happened. Sorry again. :(

Developer

What type of graphics card do you have? Because the game isn't really optimized. So it may have something to do with the graphics.

I'm going to upload a new build to itch after the jam, and Optimization is one of the things I'm going to work on.

Intel(R) HD Graphics, a weak graphics card.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, that's probably it. A friend of mine played it with an intel, and he said it could barely run it. Sorry again. :(

Cool little game, using 1 2 3 for switching was neat but it seemed too much to repeatedly press 'F'; a single press should have been enough. The font and UI could use some improvement, other than that  the visuals and SFX were great; good job!

Developer

I'm planning on submitting an improved build to itch after the jam.

Thanks for playing!

It chugs just a little bit on my laptop, but that's a me thing, most likely not a you thing.
It did feel a little bit unfair that something could break as soon as I finished fixing it, but overall that was a fun, frantic, stressful experience! Great job!

Developer(+1)

I've gotten some optimization issues, but that actually a me prob, since I spent more time building the game instead of optimizing it.

Thanks for playing! I have gotten a few comments saying left mouse button would be nice to fix items. Numpad is also a great idea!

Submitted

Although there were a few bugs It was a nice game!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Which bugs were they?

Very cool game! loved it :)

Developer

Nice little game that gives me some overcooked vibes! First of all, you really need an angry voice for a boss. I can just imagine him getting angry at your mistakes. Also, maybe adding tool switching on a mouse wheel would be nice. Also, consider adding different challenges - maybe some wouldn't need an immediate reaction and won't increase the red line, but can blow up later, maybe others can start a chain reaction... Also, I think the game gets a bit unbalanced in the end, I can't manage to fix all the leaks. Anyway, amazing job for a first game jam!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'm planning on uploading a new build of the game after the jam, and I am fixing things like switching tools and fixing broken items, along with some optimization.

Submitted

Nice game! I like it! :D
The game is straightforward yet really challenging at certain point progression of the game!
The thing I kinda struggled with is the control. even tho it felt intuitive, but it felt too much on my left hand XD
Because as I need to focus on moving around using WASD and space, spamming F to fix things got my hand tired really quick. Maybe changing it to left quick mouse would be better!
My suggestion: maybe you could also add an aiming mechanic to it! so, the player must hover, and spam left click their cursor on the problem they want to fix.
Otherwise, it was a fun game! :D

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks    for the feedback! I've had a few people say the controls were heavy on the left hand, and changing it to the left mouse wood be a really good idea.

Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+2)

Unfortunatly, I have an AZERTY keyboard so I couldn't swap tools. Visuals are good tho!

Submitted(+1)

Loved it! As others said, it is a little heavy on the left hand - ended up using my right hand to spam F, haha, but the mouse would definitely work a little better. And of course, the menu could use a bit of a touchup 😂

Is there a third stage? I genuinely could not get past the second one - but it was super fun nonetheless! 

Developer(+1)

Unfortunately, there is no third stage, but I'm planning on submitting another build to itch after the jam. And I am 100% going to put the fix as the left mouse button. Thanks for playing! :)

Submitted

Glad to hear it :D

Submitted(+1)

Very fun, you really get  the sense of urgency that make the gameplay dynamic, very cool graphics and sound design too ! Well done :)

Developer

Thank you very much for playing! :)

Submitted(+1)

Great idea! The last seconds of the levels are invigorating! For me the misunderstanding is the size of the game, I know sometimes there is no time for the basics, let alone optimization, but it would be nice to have a small build

Developer

That is something I am going to work on after the gamejam, is optimization, and a few other things people asked for. Thanks for playing :)

Submitted(+1)

This game was pretty good, I like how you have to alternate between what you use to fix things. I wish there was some settings for turning off lumen / TSR, but oh well. Good game

Developer

Glad you liked it! :)

Submitted(+1)

love the idea! probably my fault but the second level seamed so impossible to the end haha

Developer(+1)

All of the breakages are randomized, so sometimes it can be really chill at the beginning, and makes for 30 seconds of just standing around, which a mess up on my part. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Awesome game! My left hand has carpal tunnel now but it was worth it!

Developer

The controls get some getting used to, and I probably should have put the fix as the left mouse button. After Gamejam, I will update it.
